SOLAR PREMIUM SERIES GEAR OIL SAE 80W140 API GL-5
Description
Solar Manual Gear Oil SAE 80W-140 GL-5 is a high-performance, multi-grade gear lubricant formulated with premium quality base stocks and advanced extreme pressure (EP) additive chemistry. It is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of API GL-5 specifications for hypoid and spiral bevel gears operating under severe service conditions. This gear oil ensures superior protection against wear, oxidation, and thermal degradation, delivering long-lasting performance in high-torque and high-load gear systems.
Applications
- Hypoid and spiral bevel gear differentials and axles in commercial fleets, 4WD vehicles, and industrial equipment.
- Gear systems subjected to high torque, shock loads, and extreme pressure conditions.
- Applications where API GL-5 and SAE 80W-140 multi-grade performance is specified.
Features & Benefits
- Superior Extreme Pressure Protection: Excellent load-carrying capacity to protect gears and bearings from scuffing, pitting, and wear.
- Wide Temperature Range Performance: Maintains viscosity and film strength across a broad range of temperatures for year-round protection.
- Excellent Oxidation & Thermal Stability: Minimizes sludge and varnish formation, enabling extended drain intervals.
- Outstanding Rust & Corrosion Protection: Guards metal surfaces against rust, corrosion, and moisture contamination.
- Shear Stability: Maintains viscosity grade under severe mechanical stress for consistent performance.
- Seal Compatibility: Compatible with commonly used elastomers, reducing the risk of leaks and seal degradation.
Performance Standards
- Recommended for use in hypoid gear sets, axles, differentials, and final drives requiring API GL-5 level protection.
- Suitable for commercial trucks, buses, heavy-duty off-road equipment, agricultural and construction machinery.
- Ideal for severe service applications involving high loads, high speeds, and elevated operating temperatures.
